WHEN:

MAIN PRESENTATION
TOPIC:
A Robotic Moderator to Remove Forum Comment Spam
PRESENTED BY:
Ben Spade, Telenovella World
TOPIC SUMMARY:
Comment spam is currently a major plague affecting Web sites with any
type of submission or comment form facility. Ben Spade, SVLUG's second
president, encounters the comment-spam problem daily while operating
Telenovelas, a popular discussion forum concerning Spanish soap operas
(telenovelas) and East Asian dramas. Ben says: "What is it, where does
it come from, and what can be done about it? Can this be done without
destroying the visitor's reason to visit the Web site?" Ben will detail
his solutions.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Ben Spade worked for a medical computing company from the 1970s to the
1990s, did a stint at Linuxcare, and now has gone into independent
Linux consulting. He was SVLUG's second president, and first spoke to
SVLUG in 1997.

selection at the meeting.
We look forward to seeing you there!
